Probably once a premier resort, now in disrepair and poorly managed. Ceiling fan doesn't work, in room jacuzzi essentially nonfunctional, toilet loose on floor, mirror and floor tiles discolored .Too bad because clearly the resort must have been excellent when first built

Thilanka Dambulle is very impressive as you enter its gates. A long drive thru a dazzling mango orchard with hundreds of trees (laden with fruit at the time). Quite spectacular! The reception was an open concept, so was the swimming pool. very different from the usual.
Hmm, the rooms kinda need a lot of work. Old-fashioned is always a welcome...

I stayed as part of a tour around Sri Lanka. The setting, the reception area and the room were absolutely stunning. I was in a first floor room and I was stunned by how beautiful it was. Comfy bed and the bathroom area was very unique. Loved it. Staff were helpful. Beautiful pool area.
The restaurant was my only downside,...

After quite a long trip from Negombo we arrived at the Thilanka Hotel.
Surprise! With having a paid reservation there was no room available.
We encouraged the hotel to look for an alternative close to this hotel.
Eventually, with a big sigh, they assisted us.
We felt they were very hostile and not taking any responsibility for the situation. In...

Really nice setting. Main building has the restaurant and the bar. In the court there is realy nice pool. Rooms are spacius and clean. Bathroom was perfect with shower and massage bath. Room has also balcony with a nice view. Food in the restaurant was realy great. Everything was perfect. Keep up the good work.

In August I took a 11 day tour of Sri Lanka. This was by far the best hotel we stayed at. It is outside of Dambulla and a nice quiet remote area, yet a very short drive to town. The rooms were very large and the bathrooms were huge and modern. It has a nice long pool. The restaurant is...

We stayed here for four nights whilst sight seeing in the area. The first room we were allocated for one night definitely required some money spent on the interior- new bed linen, lampshades and drapes are necessary as all of it is shabby/ worn out. The next room was better, but again could do with a make over to maintain...

This resort is located in a Mango grove near the Golden Temple at Dambulla. The reception is around 200 metres from the car park, with the rooms (4 in a block) along one side of the property. The rooms are clean but we found mosquitos and the AC swing fins missing and either the AC or fan could be used...

We were very excited about this hotel, given the good reviews here. Unfortunately that feeling quickly disappeared on arrival. A few things that are wrong with this hotel:
* our room was dirty. Curtains had stains everywhere, bed linnen was worn out. On the mirror in the bathroom were two prints of hands visible, the tray with shampoo, shower gel,...

Stayed one night at this hotel and would have stayed longer but they were fully booked. Room was spacious, especially the bathroom, pool was beautiful, restaurant was very nice and therapeutic spa was also lovely. Set well back from the street, so no street noise. King size bed was really comfortable. Walked down to the river at the end of...
